I posted my migration experience (from Zooz on Polisy to Zmatter on eisy) here

The one important fact you should know that if migration fails, then you can still use your Polisy with your latest backup. HOWEVER, you can not have eisy and Polisy powered on at the same time. I believe that the migration option in the Polisy AC only appears with 5.5.3 . This being said my firmware upgrade to 5.5.3 was easy speezy by just clicking on upgrade packages.

After the migration I found myself with well over 100 "devices" in Alexa from Polisy. The routines in Alexa were still looking for the ZW devices instead of ZY. Removing those ZW devices one by one was too much so I removed all devices from Alexa. In ISY Portal, though the Alexa devices had migrated from Polisy to eisy they were still ZW, so I also deleted all Alexa devices, variables etc. and slowly add the new ZY devices and variables again. After removing all devices from Alexa, I must edit my routines and I need help with the following : I have a ISY program that depending on a condition in IF, sets a State variable to 1 and then Alexa when it detects that variable to be 1 makes an announcement. Now I forgot how to do that exactly. I believed that in ISY Portal I add that variable as a motion sensor with motion detection at 1, then in the routine when it detects that variable as 1 it does the action. But now it does not work. I know that in the past someone guided me but I forgot to keep those instructions.

yes but you DO need 5.5.3

Chris told me that he may delete option 2 so as to avoid confusion. I also believe that new instructions may be published soon.

When clicking on Migration in Polisy AC Configuration, I selected option 2 while I should have selected option 1

I am very pleased that, with great help from UD Support, I was able to migrate from Zooz on Polisy to ZMatter on eisy. Some comments : Largely most of my Zwave and Kasa devices migrated without issues. 1 Aeotec plugin switch did not, but I suspect that this is because security required the pin code. I did a factory default of the switch and then included with the pin code. 1 wall dimmer switch acts weirdly, going up and down. I will do an exclude and include. All battery devices initially were marked as disabled but enabled by themselves when activated. The Lifx Node Server does not work. I had added my Polisy node servers to PG3 on eisy in the same slots, using trial subscriptions. When I did the ISY Portal migration of the Node Server licenses it seems to have rejected that transfer of the trial node servers. I will asks UD Support for help with that migration. It appears that I need to make adjustments in Alexa as (some ?) voice commands no longer work. However a ISY program generated command to make Alexa to say something does work. The migration created a large number of new nodes for my +/- 80 Zwave devices. I have not had time to look at this in detail, but I think that some of these nodes can be used for ZWave Scenes. After trying to migrate myself, I was no longer able to login to PG 3 (eisy) on none of my 3 of my computers and using different browsers. Michel helped me to resolve this but then later same problem again. After Chris helped with migration, this issue seems to have been resolved. Home Assistant : Before the migration, I had been using eisy separately with two Zwave devices. Both my Polisy and eisy were working fine with HA, but after the migration the eisy no longer does. @shbatm is trying to help me. Even though the migration was a bit frustrating and time consuming, and needed valuable help from UD (world's best support), the result is satisfying. I am keeping my Polisy in place (unplugged) for a few days for just in case and will put in a closet for standby. I look forward to make use of current and future eisy enhancements.

What does this mean ?

Same issue eisy 5.5.3 PG3 3.1.18

Zwave issue resolved. Thanks

I opened a ticket but this is the situation in case there are suggestions. I failed the migration from Polisy-Zooz to eisy-ZMatter I believe that I exactly followed these steps : 1) Make sure 5.5.3 is installed 2) Leave your Zooz dongle connected and ZMatter Z-Wave dongle not connected 3) Create a backup of your Polisy/eisy (File | Backup ISY) 4) Create a backup of the Polisy/eisy you are migrating to (if different than in step 3) 5) Go to configuration tab in Admin Console and select "Migrate to ZMatter ZWave" 6) Choose the option that allows you to create a "migration" backup (first option) 7) Once you have your "migration" backup you are ready to migrate To migrate, you remove the Zooz dongle and plug in the ZMatter Z-Wave dongle. If you have a ZMatter Z-Wave board then you would power down Polisy, add it, then power on again. Next, use (File | Restore ISY) to restore the "migration" backup you just created (in step 6). When your Polisy/eisy restarts it automatically migrates and creates the new nodes, does the device interviews etc. All the nodes and programs did migrate but all the Zwave nodes failed to connect. I checked and the ZMatter dongle was working. Subsequently I restored the Polisy backup and tried a new migration, but this time from Polis-Zooz to Polisy-ZMatter but that migration also failed. I now restored the latest Polisy-Zooz backup and the system is working as before. I also did a factory reset of the ZMatter dongle on eisy and restored the latest backup. This worked though I will need to re-include the 2 Zwave devices. HOWEVER, I can no longer log in to eisy PG3. It gives me a an auth error.

It is still going through the migration but so far Zwave nodes show as not connected. At least some of the node servers seem to be working. Kasa devices seem to be working Right now I can not log in to the eisy PG3

All nodes were transferred but none show connected. The Zmatter dongle shows as connected

lll let you know as I plan to migrate later today

I did discover, query in AC and restart in PG3. I have no Insteon but I do have 4 Zwave nodes on my (test) eisy.

1.0.10 still shows Insteon for ZWave devices.

Yes I know but still no answer on when to move the node servers, but after thinking it over I now think that is makes no difference when. Anyway I already added my Polisy PG3 node servers to eisy PG3 in the same slots, so that is my answer to my question

Am I the only one having issues with updating node servers on Polisy with Zooz ? It is not a big deal for me as most likely I will soon try migration to eisy with ZMatter and then send my Polisy to the Smithsonian

I just checked. Still the same on eisy, 4 Insteon nodes while have none and while I have 4 Zwave nodes. However it is correct on Polisy. BUT there seems to be a general issue with PG3 on Polisy which is that my node servers do not update with restart, even though the update message disappears after a restart..... and then comes back after a day or so. So, as on Polisy PG3 I am still on 1.0.8 I could possibly have the same reverse Insteon-Zwave if & when it updates to 1.0.9

I asked the same 2 questions in different part of the forum, but here it may be more appropriate. I plan to soon initiate my migration from my Polisy with Zooz to my eisy with ZMatter and follow the above instructions but need clarification : (1) I currently have some test ZWave devices and a few node servers on my eisy. Do I need to do a factory reset before starting the above steps ? (2) Other than migrating the licenses of my node servers (which apparently can be done in ISY Portal), do I install the node servers on eisy BEFORE or AFTER the migration ?

That

I am confused as well. There have been so many posts on migration that I don't know which one applies to my situation which is currently using Zooz on Polisy and wanting to go to ZMatter on eisy. I would very much appreciate step-by-step instructions to move my whole setup (Zwave and Wifi devices, programs, scenes and node servers) from Zooz on Polisy to ZMatter on eisy.... I already have the ZMatter dongle working on eisy but right now just for testing. Do I need to do a factory reset before migration ?

On my eisy the ST-Inventory shows that I have 4 Insteon, but I don't have any Insteon. It looks it mixed up Insteon with Zwave as it shows 0 while I do have Zwave.

Am I right in understanding that Chris' instructions are for a migration on Polisy from Zooz to Zmatter or does it also apply to a migration to eisy ? In the latter case, should one first do a Zooz restore on eisy of a Polisy Zooz backup ?

I noted that in ISY Portal there is an option to migrate the node servers licenses (as well as Alexa, Google Home etc). Did you try that option before asking Michel ?
